Coal Authority (Decision Notice) [2012] UKICO FS50428155 (15 February 2012)
Summary: The complainant has requested information from The Coal Authority about postcodes for which coal mining and brine searches are required in England and Wales. The Information Commissioner-™s decision is that the public authority did not deal with the request for information in accordance with the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (the -˜EIR-™) in that it did not apply the correct legislation when handling the request. He therefore requires The Coal Authority either to provide the information requested in compliance with regulation 5(1) or issue a valid refusal notice that complies with regulation 14 of the EIR.
